I've not really taken this thread or the starter seriously since it began & I don't see any more reason to now either. :rolleyes:

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

The council are currently emptying their building of staff at the top end of Cannon Street. It will be empty by the end of March ish.

I have not officially heard what the plans are, the unofficial idea I was told might have us with another empty building on that street.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

I know I said I would not get involved with this thread again but seeing as though Sam is in contact with the council, maybe he can tell us whats happening with their building on Cannon St. Sam are you at liberty to make a comment on the councils building and could you tell us who your contact is.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Ive not heard any info on the council building apart from the owner of the con club telling me that he was buying the council building although that was before i found out he was bankrupt, so i struggle to see how he has the funds to buy it? When i went in to that building to report Churchills as a dangerous building there were no staff and the sign said, this reception is now unstaffed, please use the telephone to get through to the service you need, I was told to go over to Scatcliffe house. I doubt the staff will be made redundant, they will probably just be transferred to Scatclicfe House. My contact?

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Ewood dare I ask, can you only concentrate on one subject at a time?
Why not take a look around the site and perhaps post in a different thread?
There must be other subjects than rotten buildings that can grab the attention of a young lad.
:)

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

He's already stated he that...

Lets not hope that, If he does view other threads that he doesn't become so enthusiastic about other topics. I wouldn't want him to be willing to put his life on the line for UKIP, The Tories, or the wish for a deathstar to be created to defend the earth.

However. I think that kind of dedication may be welcome at the railway ? :D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Ask him to rescue the fire extinguisher floating in the canal

Err.. second thoughts,he just might..

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Maybe he can walk on water?

Some guy 2000 years ago could and he was also known for raising the dead.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

We would be more than willing for him to take over our expenses, though it might be cheaper if he just rents Churchills.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Dynamo blown the walking on the water out of the water :D

Quite right Less even Bee shared it about a bit:D

Railway Pub in Huncoat?
I might pop in some time.
Do you serve food? Or Just Drinks? :D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Already been answered. Railway in Accrington. You must of passed it at some point on your travels too and fro from churchills......

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

I know of no Railway pub in Accy, only in hucoat (next to the railway station), just a bit down from the chippy/newspaper shop/sandwich shop and pharmacy?

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

well you're our building expert if you don't know of one in Accrington, it obviously doesn't exist.
That old man restless trying to wind you up again no doubt.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Are you sure you know where Accy Con is, or are you just absent minded, its very nearly the nearest pub to the con just at the bottom of station road

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

I think you will find its at the bottom of Eagle street jaysay on Blackburn road:D
And yes they have butty's or crisps and there is one or two TVs so you can watch jackanory as well:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Ah so thats why you and Less spend so much time there, Jackanory must look better on the big screen:p:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

There's a perfect subject waiting for him, as I've already told him - five quid in on Saturday, support urgently needed. Plus it gives him scope for his property renovation mania - stands to be painted, terraces to be weeded. It'd be a lot more fulfilling than his futile attempts at trying to save a building which has gone beyond saving. ;)

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Station rd is in huncoat.
There is a railaway pub across from the sex shop in accy.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

I give up, do you really think there is only ONE Station road in the World?

Lucky you, it's in Huncoat and by some strange reason, next to the station!

Young man, please, pretty please, get a life or admit you actually are bee just so the rest of us can understand what you are about.
:(

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

So what are you suggesting,that we club together and buy it.?It may be an investment.NOT

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Yes, but how many other properties you could buy for that price would need a fortune spending on them?
:rolleyes:

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Was right with you up to the club bit, baseball or 5 Iron would be my preference. ;) :D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

If you do a search, AccyWeb is highly valued moneywise, (for a none existent piece of property), but knowing the members would you pay?

Look at all the work you'd have to do getting it right.
:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Your a mind of useless information, in fact if they knocked the ruin down they could probably build some useful properties that aren't an eyesore like the one stand there at the moment:rolleyes:

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Walked passed the Railway yesterday and peered my head in. Saw a few people sitting around the bar, dunno if it was any of you, didnt want to stare.
And why do you need fundraising help at the Railway!? With all those TV's the owners must be minted! Sell one (or 17) if you need the money!

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Quote from ASFC62 on "Wimbledon - Rallying Call to Reds Fans" thread on Stanley section:

Will organise for the lads and anyway who wishes to help out to go down to the ground on Saturday morning before the Wimbledon game.

10am at the Crown Ground.
Job - getting the terrace looking like the old days

PRIORITY - getting the Clayton End behaving like the old days.

THIS is what YOU should be getting yourself involved in, Ewood, instead of moping morbidly around a derelict, dangerous and doomed building!

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

NO! I am a photographer, I am not trying to kill myself! I go to these buildings to get good photographs, and this building has been my favourite yet.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

So put some pics on here let us cast a critical eye over them.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

So you're a photographer and you keep telling us you will show us photos but never do(except one from the outside).
Be honest, have you ever been inside and have you any photos of it to show us?

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Beat me to it, Less.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Of course I have been in! But not with my new camera.
I am going in this weekend with some professional urban explorers/photographers and also a lady who used to work there. I will upload the photos after I have visited this weekend.
(P.S its not kids who I am going with, they are all over 40.
I posted a forum on Derelict Places and got a few replies asking how to get in legally and then we arranged a visit.)
You are more than welcome to come along to have a nosey and take some pictures - As long as you do not damage or steal from the building then it is legal*
*You cannot be arrested for trespass in ENGLAND (unless you cause damage, steal or break an entry). Please see the following links about the law on trespass in ENGLAND:
Trespass Law
Derelict Places - Trespass & The Law
Naturenet: English Common Law

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Over 40 and acting like kids.

Does mummy know that you not only talk to strangers but go into odd buildings with them?

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Alright then, cuz its really childish to take photographs... yeaaahhhhh.
Its called having an interest in your local history and keeping them with you forever!
Now go live your life how you want - go get wasted!

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Oh and P.S.
Strangers? Not all adults are are strange like you!
They dont all get a buzz about trying to belittle a minor for doing something that they enjoy.
:)

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Now, Now, no need for you to spit your dummy out of the pram, I don't think photography is childish, nor is having a sensible interest in local history.

I do have grave suspicions that what you do is childish.

I'll have you know I don't think you need any help in belittling yourself, what you need is encouragement to do something a little safer such as suggested by Wyonie.
However we all know you won't.
:)

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Whos the lady who used to work there Ewood?

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

It may take a lot to save it but its like the rest thats may be had its day.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Young Sam.
Why do you keep quoting the Trespass Law. ?
You have said in the past that you know the owner and he is a very nice man.
Also you have been in the building with his consent therfore you are not trespassing in the sense of the word.
You say, I am going in this weekend with some professional urban explorers/photographers and also a lady who used to work there. Who have you arranged the visit with.
Who is in charge of the visit and who is in charge of the health and safety of the visit. ?
What facilities have you got and what arrangements have you made in case of an emergency. ?
Have all the Emergency services been made aware of your plans. ?
Do I take it that these people are being escorted by yourself as they are your guests. ?
Have you written consent that allows you to escort and supervise these people through a derelict building from the owner.?
Have you done a risk assesment on the route and the parts of the building you are going into and parts of the building that could have an effect of your presence there.?
Have you all the correct safety equipment for you and your guest including High Visability clothing and hard hats. ?
Have you a specific route planned and are all your guests fully aware of the designated walking route that they must travel.?
Have you made sure that they have signed and that they understand all the dangers and all the implications of not following the designated walking route. ?
IF ALL OF THIS IS a little bit over your head. ?
take a few minutes to digest what I have told you in other post of this thread.
You WILL be putting youself and other people into a dangerous situation.
As an Holder of IOSH and NEBOSH. ( I suppose these Abbreviations are way above your head as well.)
I may have a look around the area at the weekend.
KEEP away you stupid young man.
If anything happens to any of your guest.
You could be held responsible and all of your postings regarding you entering this building could be and may be used against you.
Let it go and stop being so daft before its too late.
If you do not have permission to be in/on the property then you are Trespassing.
It is nothing to do with damage or stealing.
An individual who has been found trespassing can be legally ejected from the property, providing that the amount of force used to do so is deemed by the courts to be reasonable.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

From what I gather they meet once a week, in the afternoon for a drink in the railway. It has become a sorta tradition for them. It goes back years of accyweb history. This heritage is more interesting than the conservative club.

Also. When I met Less briefly last year, he didn't appear to me to be an alcoholic, and I doubt he spends all his time "getting wasted"

Of course. I would be interested to see the photos, thats if you don't commit some kind of stupid ritualistic sacrifice to this building. Oh and please take photographs of the team of urban explorers/photographers and the lady that used to work there, otherwise these people do not exist.

You could just take the advice offered in this thread and stay away, or at least admire it from a safe distance.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

only because he cant afford too:D

And i dont call 3 or 4 pints on a friday or/and sat getting wasted:thepint::thepint::thepint:
just a nice quiet drink talking about any new idiots that have joined the site:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Good grief, it's just gone 8 in the morning and I'm seeing double, I MUST be wasted!
:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Doubt if there will be enough time only meeting Friday and Saturday for that Mick:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Sam, if you won't listen to the advice of us oldies then perhaps you will pay heed to Restless who at 34 is a lot closer to you in age. Read his post and think about it.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

I like to think of Less, Mick and co getting listed status!

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Perhaps not just in age but also in maturity?

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...e/hidewall.gif

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

This isnt a school trip!
I have not had permission from the owner to take them in but they want to visit and they are allowed to as long as they do not cause damage, steal and they leave asap if asked to do so.
They have been in many derelict buildings in their time including places with high security like whittingham hospital, they are doing what they enjoy - photography - and they know the risks of entering derelict places but they are experienced and they are not exactly going to stand in the middle of the ballroom raving and bouncing up and down on the staircase.
We will be taking an emergency first aid kit in the unlikely event that one of us gets injured even though it probably wont because we are just going around taking photos. Everyone will be taking torches and protective gloves will be supplied incase of glass or germs. I have got a lot of face masks and I will take those and offer them.
We will be walking around single file and being extremely cautious.
I will make them aware of the most 'unsafe' parts of the building (which are the rooms directly under the 2 'square domes at either side on top of the building, (as that is where the lead was removed and where the leaking occurs - the rest of the building is mostly dry and sturdy and safe.)

If we are asked to leave by the owner, police or other figure of authority, then we will do so by the quickest, and safest practical route.
It is extremely unlikely that we will have and charges pressexd against us in civil court as the owner would have to prove that we have broken an entry, vandalised or stolen things. The owner would have more sense than to do this anyway as it is a derelict building and he probably would not have the time to take us to court and he would know himself that it would be very unlikely that the court would do anything with us and then HE would have to pay the court fees.
We are photographers and could prove that. We will not be carrying anything that could be considered as something to vandalise or break an entry.
We are photographers - NOT arsonists!
IT IS A DERELICT BUILDING! - NOT 10 DOWNING STREET!

But thanks for your concerns and I appreciate them.
Take care and I will upload the photos soon after the visit.

No way, not the one's that have been there for the last 6 years or so...:(

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Unfortunately young Sam, and this does show how really intelligent you are, you have not understood anything that I have said or written. You must have the IQ of a cornflake to keep putting all this Bull**** and Lies on this website. In fact I dont think you are real. Do what you want. We have tried to assist you with your thinkin and it appears to be falling on deaf ears. If you want to die, I hope you do not take anybody with you. Also make sure there are enough plasters in your first aid kit. Cause you will really need them if you fall all the way through the building from top to bottom. Yes they will come in handy young man.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

[QUOTE=Ewoodsambo3;1037522]But if you don't have permission to be in there you'll be breaking the law touching them, by your own words:rolleyes:

Look guys this 'person' is clearly an old accywebber trying to and succeeding in winding you lot up, I highly doubt that it is 'bee' I have my suspicions on who it actually is though, why do you lot go along with the utter bollox that 'it' is coming out with?

One of the best sports to pass on the time was listening to a bull****ter and enjoying the next dramatic claim they would come out with, it never took a great deal of encouragement to get them believing their own prattlings.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Yer right Less, we had one, we used to call him Gurnet, like the fish all mouth, he was a right Baron Munchausen, it did help to ease the boredom. But after a while it becomes tedious if its only one subject.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Never was a problem, our guy could easily be distracted by showing him tit's on a calender while he was being set up for the next subject.
:)

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

When he has finished saving the old building could we have him save something else, perhaps Fallen Women, and if he does can he save one for me.

What about having him start a campaign to bring back Green Shield stamps, or what about bringing back plastic flowers with Omo washing powder.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Green Shield Stamps Dave, that brings back memories, when I worked at Shopfitters on the big vans they had a 40 gallon tank bigger in some cases, we used to search for garages giving quadruple stamps or better, there was a huge swapping club within the driving community at the firm:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Not as many separations amongst couples back then either, we collected stamps and stuck together, (usually after putting the stamps in the books!).:)

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

My dad used to serve petrol at Hillock Vale Motors on Burnley Road. He used to ask customers if they didn't want their Green Shield Stamps ,could he have them.He used to fill a book up in no time. Oh sorry we have hijacked his thread! OH DEAR

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

No we haven't it's still local history.

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Sorry Less can't agree, had just split from my wife and she took the flaming stamp album with her:D

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

Of all things to take you Green Shield Stamps!

Re: Update on Accrington Conservative Club
 

You weren't one of those modern day couples that dampened the back of the stamps with a sponge instead of licking them? If so no wonder there was no bond between you.

Of course these days because of health and safety, each stamp would have to be wrapped in a sterile envelope to prevent the transfer of germs because of all the people handling them.
